I've looked everywhere in the forum, Yes i have found very useful information but this is a question I must ask directly.
I bought a Nook-HD so I could root it. I dint have the time cause of college and lazyness and I went to a website that they sell a flashcard with the CM10 already inside of it and it allows you to take it of and have the nook as of stock.
I do not understand if this makes my device be rooted or not. I tried downloading a game "Order and Chaos" cause this is the only reason why I wanted to root my nook. The game downloaded but it does not open. It did open one time and updated something but does not open again.
In my device information it says that my Model Number is: Barnes & Noble NOOK HD.
I understand that i need to change the build.prop for my device to be "Nexus?" if I am not mistaken.
Now I have tried doing the build.prop steps I have found on the forum, Ive been looking for hours and for example it tells me I need to choose an option called "root explorer" but I cannot find that option anywhere.
Does someone have an Idea how can I change this build.prop or if I have a problem with my CM10.1?
I am confused on whether it is that my device is not rooted or it is.
Can someone move this to the nook HD forum please... Im sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but I've messed around with android for a little while. I'm trying to figure out how to change my carrier name. I've read countless posts on how to do it, and I'm so close.
The problem is, when I edit eri.xml in a hex editor (I've tried 3), I can't seem to find "Metro PCS" anywhere! Not even "Metro". It seems like it might be encrypted or something. I checked out my friend's tmobile mytouch 4g and the same issue. Have the carrier's decided to encrypt this information?
Can anyone help me with this? Has anyone successfully done this on an Lg Esteem? I appreciate any help, thanks!

Does anyone have an idea of how to go about this or what to try?
little late, but better then never
if you go to android forums and check out the esteem section, all things root, there is a guide on this.
I'm guessing you are familiar with decompiling and compiling your rom. so go to framework/framework-res.apk/res/values folder and edit the 'strings.xml' with notepad++ search for Metro PCS and simply delete that and replace with your custom text.
I was wondering if there's an automated file manager for android like Belvedere or Hazel.
If you don't know what I'm talking about here's a good guide for Belvedere: http://lifehacker.com/341950/belvedere-automates-your-self+cleaning-pc
I looked left and right on the internet and couldn't find anything similar for android so I decided to ask on the forum I'm sure you guys know more about this stuff than I do.
I've been trying out the various nightly builds for XBMC on android that kemonine96 has been working on, and after doing a lot of searching trying to find a solution to something suggested, i figured I'd ask here. I own and use a Toshiba Thrive 10', and it was suggested to edit the build.prop files touch sensitivity because the thrive is apparently a bit underwhelming in this area when using the program. trouble is, i have been completely UNABLE to find what the listing is for said setting. If I've been missing something obvious, I'd be grateful for someone to point it out and hand me the dunce cap. but any help would be appreciated.

You can edit a build prop by searching build prop editor on the play store or you can download rom toolbox and edit the build prop...Must be rooted!!

Use root explorer. Long press the file. Select "open in text editor".
Done

Hi,
I have downloaded NOVA 3 on my TF101 and after I installed it, it's saying "This game is not compatible for your device". How can I fix this? I remember I did fix this on my last tablet by editing build.prop, but what app should I use to do this and what should I edit? Thanks!
There's some threads about this in themes and development and general I believe, look for gameloft games or something, sorry I don't have time to search and find them for you at the moment. Perhaps later I'll do a search.
Sorry to be a noob to this all.. and I know this is most likely the wrong place to post this thread (this forum is huge btw)
Can someone help me.. Complete noob here, I just got myself the new GS5 and have made the switch from Apple to Android now, I only have a macbook pro and have no idea how I can root my galaxy s5 with the macbook? Can anyone help?
I am an Australian user.. who has the latest SGS 5, SM-G900I that is locked to Optus (network).
I have the latest macbook pro late 2013 edition with os x mavericks on it.
I've worked out some basics.. like I have Samsung Kies now working on the mac to do file transfer etc..
I have the developers option menu open on my GS device with USB debugging ticked..
But that's as much as I can do.. I don't know how or what program to use on my mac to perform the rooting and or what kind of rooting I need to do??
I'm not to good with terminal? or inputting commands into terminal.. complete noob with that
Can someone here.. please, please help me out and point me in the right direction.. I've looked all over google.. most info I have found though is for the GS4 or older version of android etc.
And like I said earlier.. I am overwhelmed by this forum site as it is huge and I don't know where to begin to look?
I would also like to know.. I've seen screenshots of in videos of where people have 4 + apps in their "app draw" including an internet browser..
Mine has come pre loaded with only 3 main apps in the "app draw".. these are, phone, contacts & messages + the apps button.
How can I edit/ add or remove apps in and out of that bottom app draw area, I am yet to find that option anywhere on this phone??
